From the Horse's Mouth

Soldier Dogs: The Untold Story of America's Canine Heroes by Maria Goodavage

Dogs have always played an important role in all branches of the military. Ms. Goodavage takes an in-depth look at these remarkable canines, known as MWDs (Military Working Dogs). She describes the selection, training, and preparation of these animals for roles in patrol, substance detection, and most of all combat. The book emphasizes the relationships between the animals and their handlers. It also includes information about the war dog memorial and the war dog organization. How do you describe these dogs? Just awesome!

Enjoy reading about dogs? We also have available in book, CD, and ebook the story of Oogy: The Dog Only a Family Could Love by Larry Levin. The author's family adopted this severely injured puppy who had been used as bait in dog fights and brought back from the brink of death. With hope and love, this is a touching tale with a very happy ending!
